Chapter 364 Buy Meals and Get Accommodation
The hostess of the inn was the daughter of the proprietress.
When the twelve or thirteen-year-old child brought the food.
Lindsay sat for a while, changed his drink, and then took up his plate and quietly moved to another seat.
There were many adventurers walking around in the inn, and this behavior was not noticeable.
Lindsay approached the group of men and women who were discussing.
He didn't even need to start a conversation, after a while, he was naturally integrated into the atmosphere of the discussion.
At the table next to Lindsay.
A middle-aged man with a full beard smiled proudly at this moment, waving the wooden wine glass in his hand with a very exaggerated movement:
"Hey, hey, hey! The news I heard is not the same!"
"Foltz in the north of the city seems to be related to this matter, and he is not missing. The awakened people will gather tonight to ask him about the situation."
The bearded man finished speaking.
The person behind Lindsay also raised his glass:
"Look at what you said, this may be another rumor."
"The incident in the forest has just subsided for a week, look at how chaotic the town is."
"How can there be any reliable news!"
Everyone nodded.
The situation in the town is indeed like this, and the truth of the news still needs to be identified by oneself.
But at the table where the topic was brought up, a girl suddenly spoke:
"I think this matter must be not simple."
"The incident just ended a week ago, and it is normal to make these things happen. After all, everyone has been holding back for more than a month. But now? The most anxious guys have left. The problems that have only appeared at this time must have deep-seated reasons!"
The companion next to the girl asked:
"Nana, what do you think is the reason for this?"
"Everyone is preparing to travel, so how can there be time to make such troubles? As for the recent things... it is only the civil war in Jiuwan City."
Will the civil war in Jiuwan City affect Echo Valley Town?
This idea emerged in the minds of the people in the hotel, and the discussion slowed down.
At this moment, the man behind Lindsay suddenly had an idea and made a bold guess to the people around him:
"Do you think the incident in Jiuwan City is related to Black Mountain?"
"A dragon beast died there! It was in the seventh stage!"
"The person who killed him should have come to the forest courtyard now. Maybe it was because of his arrival that this series of changes occurred?"
Someone in the hotel immediately refuted:
"You are not right. I heard that the dragon beast died because it failed to advance!"
Bang!
The bearded man next to Lindsay smashed his glass on the table:
"Will anyone believe this nonsense?"
"That thing is still a few years away from successfully advancing, it must not have died of natural causes."
The man behind Lindsay also sighed:
"Killing a seventh-stage dragon beast... a dragon-slaying hero."
"In my life, I have only heard of such deeds in legends, but I didn't expect it to happen so close to the next world."
Someone at another table also exclaimed:
"Yes, it takes many years to produce such a hero to kill such a beast that harms the world!"
"..."
"Tell me, if I were that kind of person, how would I feel now?"
"..."
"Don't dream!"
"..."
The atmosphere in the tavern changed.
Everyone just shifted the topic to Black Mountain.
The Forest Courtyard exists adjacent to the Black Mountain world, and the dragon beast is indeed one of the major factors that has long been entrenched in everyone's mind.
Now half a year has passed.
The news that should have been spread has also been thoroughly spread.
This real dragon-slaying act is even more touching than searching for the secret treasure in the forest.
In another half a year, maybe some poets will write something to sing
"..."
Among the crowd, only Lindsay felt a little embarrassed.
How come this group of adventurers are talking about this?
"Can't we discuss intelligence properly in the inn? There's no need to discuss this kind of thing..."
Lindsay's old face turned red.
He lowered his head and dealt with dinner seriously.
The food provided by the inn looks pretty good.
Snap--
Lindsay took a bite of the staple food first, and his eyes lit up immediately.
The environment of the courtyard in the forest did not allow large-scale cultivation of grains, and ordinary people did not have food made from flour. The staple food here is a yellow banana plant leaf heart, called yellow banana stick.
It tastes refreshing and sweet, and white sticky juice will ooze out when bitten.
"Hmm..."
"It tastes pretty good?"
Lindsay wiped his mouth.
This yellow banana stick tastes good, but the juice sticks easily to the mouth.
On the wooden tray provided by the hotel, there was only a knife as tableware, and a piece of blue-tailed catfish as a side dish.
Lindsay cut the fish and took a bite.
Perhaps because there were too many guests, the fish was not handled perfectly, and there was a hint of fishiness in it.
But it was paired with the berry dip, a specialty of the forest.
After the sour and sweet taste was blended, the taste of the whole dish became acceptable, even a little delicious.
After eating two bites of the yellow banana sticks and the fish, Lindsay picked up the drink on the side.
The innkeeper wanted to offer him fruit beer, but Lindsay strictly refused alcoholic drinks, so she replaced it with a glass of local berry juice.
Lindsay raised the glass and smelled it.
The fresh juice is turbid in color, and there are even residues of pomace and peel, but the fruity aroma is very sweet.
Lindsay immediately took a sip.
"Bah-why are you so sour!"
Lindsay felt that her shoulders were so sore that they could touch each other from behind.
The juice was so sour that his scalp, which was as high as 60 points, felt numb, and a large amount of saliva began to secrete in his mouth.
"Ha ha--"
Lindsay's reaction immediately aroused laughter from the bearded fellow at the table.
He came up and patted Lindsay on the shoulder, and introduced him in a familiar manner:
"Brother, this stuff is juice squeezed from red snake plum. It's really rare to take a sip like you do!"
The people next to him also attracted their attention.
But unlike the beard, he focused on Lindsay's appearance:
"Huh? This friend, you just came to the hotel today? I have never seen you like this before."
Lin Ma immediately made up a reason:
"The previous change in the forest trapped me in the forest. I finally waited until the change was over before returning to the town."
There are not many people who experience this.
After hearing Lindsay's answer, the man who asked immediately comforted:
"It's okay, it'll be nice to come back."
"I don't know how many people will die in this incident. You are lucky!"
Lindsay smiled:
"Indeed, I have always been lucky."
After a brief explanation, Lindsay started the conversation smoothly:
"By the way, I heard them say something happened in the north of the city. Can you tell me the details?"
The man opposite him immediately became energetic and opened his mouth to introduce in detail:
"Hey! Then you asked the right person."
"I know this best. Last night..."
"..."
Lindsay spent two hours in the hotel lobby.
He met several new friends and figured out what happened in Zhenbei.
As the sky grew late, the rain in Echo Valley slowed down, and drizzle began to fall on the streets.
But when Lindsay walked from the front lobby of the hotel to the back room.
What appeared in front of him was a rather sloppy temporary shed built with wooden planks.
He pushed open the loose door.
Looking inside, there was even a little leakage in the house.
There are two wooden basins on the ground, where they are collecting water.
"..."
"No wonder two silver coins cover food and accommodation."
This scenery is also expected.
But looking at such a cheap guest room, Lindsay couldn't help but scratch her hair:
"Otherwise, we won't have any rest tonight?"
"Go directly to the north of the town and see what's going on with the disappearances and treasures they talk about..."
